R&B singer Usher is attempting to shut down one of his most popular fansites UsherForever.com, according to reports.

The Burn hitmaker is currently in discussions with lawyers to prepare a legal attempt to close down the fansite, run by Erika Jackson, according to the New York Daily News.

The newspaper reports the site's webmaster isn't fond of Usher's fiancee Tameka Foster, who many fans have blamed for the firing of the singer's mother as his manager and the departure of his press representatives Simone Smalls and Chris Chambers.

Usher recently sent an open letter to fans via America's People magazine, declaring, "Some media and bloggers have been totally intrusive, they have misconstrued aspects of my personal life and, because of this, my 'true' fans are not sure about what is fact and what is fiction. There is a difference in stating an opinion versus drawing a conclusion that is incorrect."

Usher also defended his pregnant fiancée, adding, "I am happy, excited, completely clear and independent on my direction, feelings, decisions and I am not being led."
